Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Raise snow-clearing blades over deck joints where possible
- Avoid parking heavy plant or pallets on joint lines
- Check joints after long freezing spells
- Clear dirt from joint lines during routine cleaning
Our workmanship on movement joints carries a 12-month guarantee. Record which product went into which joints in the building file.
An open joint fills with grit, and a joint full of grit can’t close. The edges then take the pressure and start to spall, turning a sealant job into a repair job. Keeping the seal sound avoids all of that.
Expansion joint sealing in Temple
Joints in car park decks and ramps are among the hardest-working in any building. Wheel loads, grit and de-icing salts attack the seal and the concrete either side; water dripping through to the deck below is often the first sign. A sealant suited to traffic and the expected movement goes in. Most enquiries involve damp inside where a wall movement joint has failed and torn sealant in brick or block movement joints, across car park decks and ramps, blockwork control joints and podiums and floor movement joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Temple, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around the edges of Scotland’s cities are warehouses, trade counters and distribution units, whose floor joints take forklift and pallet-truck traffic daily. The right filler or sealant, laid in phases, keeps them operating.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Failed waterproofing membranes on podiums, roofs or decks (a waterproofing specialist’s job)
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.

FAQs: Temple
Does your area include sites such as Anniesland Industrial Estate, near Temple?
Yes. We cover Temple and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Anniesland Industrial Estate. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Gartnavel Royal Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Why has the sealant in our expansion joints split?
Most often the movement is too much for the product or the joint width. We review the joint design as well as the sealant before pricing, rather than replacing like for like.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Which product is best for expansion joints?
It depends on the movement, exposure and traffic. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many facade joints, while polyurethane is common in trafficked floor and deck joints unless the specification names something else.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Owners, agents and contractors
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Joints that move: notes for Temple
The west of Scotland, where Temple is, gets more rain than the east. External slab joints left open take plenty of rain. We wait for dry, workable days to seal them. The 3 miles around Temple take in at least three named trading estates, business parks or retail parks. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
Estates like Anniesland Industrial Estate, 0.5 miles to the north of Temple, combine warehouse slabs, yards and loading bays, all with joints under wheels. Large sites such as Gartnavel Royal Hospital, 0.8 miles south-east of Temple, have car parks, service roads and long elevations with movement joints in brick and panels. Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Dalsholm Industrial Estate (0.8 miles east of Temple): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time.

Why deal with it now?
Some quotes just add sealant over the old bead. A bead over the old seal can’t bond or flex. Full removal and preparation is in every quote. Getting access arranged for a building in Temple takes time, so deal with all failing joints while access is up.

On site: what to expect
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For premises in Temple, tell us about access times, shared entrances and any building rules, and we will plan the work to suit, phased where areas need to stay in use.
- The first job is to check each joint: how wide it is, how it moves and why the old seal let go.
- Next, we fix a price and confirm the sealant we propose for the movement.
- We strip out the old seal and prepare the faces, and we tell you if any edges need repairing first.
- We control the depth with backing rod or, in shallow joints, bond-breaker tape.
- Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, followed by the sealant, which is then tooled off.
- We check every joint before sign-off, and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
